#writersCoffeeClub 25 Mar: What do you feel when a loved one reads your work?
Surprise, usually. Also gratitude.
Tuesday! The day where we say . . .
This isn't a cry for help, I just need to vent.
It's not been a great month. The depression's smacking me around like a pro boxer with a speed bag. I'm talking to my doc today, to come up with an new plan because the current one isn't working for shit.
Sigh.
Working away on a grey Monday morning. The kind of day that makes a writer think, "Wouldn't it be awesome if more people subscribed to my newsletter to I can give them a free ebook?"
Just saying...
#ScribesAndMakers 20, Self-promotion day. Shame optional.
What is this shame of which you speak?
#WritersCoffeeClub 2026-03-22 How do you organise your notes? (No notes?)
Organize is a rather loose term for it. Whiteboard or notebook for notes depending on where I am.
Word processor for outlines and GMSCAAC charts.
(GMSCAAC: Goal, Motivation, Stakes, Conflict, Agency, Action, Consequences)
